Yeah SF6, Tekken 7 and this are good for beginners. Just make sure to do mission mode or atleast all the missions that allow you to select your character.
>I'm bad at fighting games
Don't sweat it
>is this good for beginners?
Very
>should I get another anime based fighting game?
If you see one that you want to play more, yeah. That said, I don't think any other anime fighter has the same netcode, accessability, or playerbase that Strive has.
Strive gets a lot of flak, but it's a really fun game, and the online is fantastic.
Do you think it will be on sale soon? Or should I just buy it now?
>Do you think it will be on sale soon?
No idea, though I'm sure you can find some deals online
I'd say to buy it now if you want it
>Do you think it will be on sale soon?
It'll probably go on sale around EVO,if you want to wait that long.
Definitely soon, it hasn’t been on sale recently and EVO is soon. Expect a sale near the beginning of august
There was almost no one online when I tried like a year ago maybe
Unless you play in frickin Australia servers or have internet shit enough that you can't hop regions that's impossible.
California. It was empty in the starting floors. I had to go near the top to see anyone and even then it was like 2 people on the floor.
I’m in Washington state. I’ve noticed the best times are early in the morning/later at night to get people on the lower floors. And sometimes you just have to be the first one to open the floor and train until people start to file in.
How starting are we talking? Because floor 4-10 are generally considered the beginner floors that 80% of the player base is and under that your barely gonna see a thing since you'd have to badly lose both rounds against the floor test bot or lose round after round after round to get one of the meme floors like 1,2 and 3
I’m the guy who’s 2 weeks in above and am now a 6-7. There was a few days when I was yo yoing between 2-5. The floor placement bot initially put me on level 6. I got rekt immediately. The placement bot isn’t very good.
Is the flak just from it being labeled the troony game? I don’t have a lot of fighting game experience but really enjoy it. It controls smoothly and was easy to pick up, the animation is great, and the soundtrack is just mondo jam after mondo jam.
The flak is because they watered down the amount of moves the old cast has as well as changing the way combos works and slowing donw the air dash. Those changes along with wall break make it a controversial title for older fans of the series.
Trans community coopting Bridget is just a side effect of Western idealogical pandering and there are a decent amount of high level players that are trans (but that could be said about any nerd community nowadays).
xrd rev2 has better tutorials and is overall a better game. just understand that you will lose no matter what game you pick. 'beginner friendly game' is a marketing trick; don't play trash just because it has slightly more players.
>beginner friendly is a marketing trick
No you moron it's a descriptor that either applies to a game or doesn't. SF6, Strive and Tekken 7 all match that while games like SFV(at this point), Xrd and Tekken tag 2 don't
There should be a sale soon since a fighting game tournament is on the way AND it's the month of the game and company's anniversary
Strive is one of the easiest fighting game when it comes to execution, you'll still get your ass kicked tho
Just about everyone is bad at these games when they start playing. Improving at them is what makes them fun.
Buy whatever looks interesting to you. Strive is one of the more popular fighting games and will have no shortage of people online willing to play with you, so if you're interested in it I don't see why you shouldn't play it. I'm a little lukewarm on it myself, but I had fun with it for a little while.
Who do you lads main?
Get anything else. This game is dogshit and wont teach you anything about genre apart from how to rob people in this game but thats it. Its currently also dying and bleeding players and lobby system and servers are garbage.
Any suggestions then
As I said get anything else thats not dead. SF6 would be the best choice but its expensive, there is new Granblue game coming later this year too. Even Mk1 would be better choice than Strive.
Bleeding players my ass, it’s playercount on steam is stable, it’s incredibly impressive that it’s retained nearly all of its players the month SF6 came out.
It literally lost over 1k players from its daily peak since SF6 released and its still slowly bleeding players. Funny is that game is not bleeding because Sf6 but because arcsys is killing this game themselves. Continue to cope when arcsys gapes you anally with stale gameplay, no S3 info, broken servers and more.
fricking KEK i wish tomokogays weren't like this
imagine showing up to locals in this
Strive is probably the easiest anime game. Most anime games are known for having really hard and complex gimmicks. Strive's are not that difficult except for a few characters (Zato,Jack-O,Happy Chaos, and Asuka). The game gets a lot of hate on Ganker but it's a good game, and you can go from beginner to doing cool stuff relatively quickly if you are willing to learn and go through the period of losing a lot of games at first.
I also just started playing 2 weeks ago. First fighting game I’ve really dug into and tried to learn. I’m shit but if I can figure it out it’s probably good for beginners. Pick a character and just stick to them at least until you get the basics down. Giovanna, Sol, and May seem to be good beginner options. May and Sol are heavy hitting while still being somewhat ‘shoot’ prototyped and Gio is good if your instincts are to just mash buttons until you learn how to mash them in a productive way.

Play FighterZ.
Team fighting games are bad for beginners to the genre
>is this good for beginners?
no
>should I get another anime based fighting game?
Generally, anime fighting games tend to be very combo heavy and have a lot of movement and not much neutral, so probably not.
They're obviously the most visually appealing, but I think you're just SOL unless you're already into fighting games and not a beginner, that's just how fighting games are.
